Pokemon: The Calamities

Pokemon: The Calamities

"I want you to remember this day, to remember the events that will surely go down in history." The speakers crackle to life and the silhouette behind the one-way glass smiles. There's a glint of madness in his frenzied gaze, an unsettling calm on his face despite the raging storm in his chest. "Project C13 will bring us greatness, my fellow rockets, we are moving forward—ushering in a brand new age! And when the legendary have bowed before us and fear has left the masses quaking in their shoes, we will rise, we will start anew, and we will rewrite history as we see fit and create a world where no one shall dare oppose us!"

A hushed silence envelopes the room until the first rocket, a girl with biggest smile on her face, begins to clap. And then there is a cacophony of cheers and the rockets toss their hats into the air in a gesture of victory. This would be their lucky break and finally, after the disbandment and years and years of failure, they had a purpose, had finally struck gold.

They had Mew and they had harnessed its power. The possibilities were truly endless.

No longer would they be known as petty thieves or scumbags out for money, no, they would become Gods and history itself would be rewritten. One by one, the cities and inhabitants would be brought to their knees.

@Leoven

No rush xD, I'm hoping we'll at least be able to post twice a week or so. If we can do more then sure, but I'm not going to be asking for daily posting or anything like that. And you sadist xD alsoooo somewhere in Mindanao, I reckon you're from the country too since you're asking?

And a'ight, we've got two votes for before~

Pokemon RP Idea (Dark-ish)

You've got that right xD anddddd

@SleepingSilence, @Leoven, @DJAtomika, @Draconequis, @Lowkey123

You guys have been accepted!

I was only looking for 3-4 others, but decided to just go ahead and bump up the numbers a little. I figured having an extra one or two people wouldn't hurt. Everyone else, thank you very much for showing interest in this RP. I might have the OOC up by tonight but I've got some papers to finish @_@ so I'll leave you guys with this vote.

Who wants to start before the calamities and who wants to start after?

@Jpp188

Alrighty ^^ looking forward to seeing it~

@SleepingSilence

Good to hear xD. I'm looking forward to seeing him flounder around in an attempt to make friends, haha.

@sassy1085

Thanks for applying the edits :)!

@JunkMail

Sure, go ahead :) and thanks for the interest!

@tobiax

Awesomesauce, is that your finished sheet?

I'm going to give everyone till Saturday morning (GMT 8+ Philippine time) to finish up their sheets. On Saturday morning, I'll pick the final cast and get the OOC up and running. When that's done, we'll plan out character relationships and how and where we want to start then we can get this RP on the road. Soooo not too long now :D! Hope you guys are as thrilled as I am~

Pokemon RP Idea (Dark-ish)

Okay, first round of feedback, here it goes~

@sassy1085

It's a bit too short. Sticking to the basics is a-okay, but there's not much to work with in terms of personality and biography. If you could expand on it and maybe spruce it up a little, that'd be awesome :)!

@SleepingSilence

Loving the contrast xD @him having an intimidating aura but actually being insecure. Everything looks good to me ^^ just make sure he doesn't shy away too much from interaction, since we will need that to progress the RP and stuff~

@Leoven

I don't have a problem with the connection, and everything looks a-okay! What is this mysterious package though :0?

@DJAtomika

A cop, wonderful xD. Things are going to get serious, so having someone with experience along would be grand. He's got an interesting team too, I don't see anything that needs to be changed.

@Draconequis

It looks good to me ^^ but I might have to ask you to put her mons in Pokeballs. Otherwise, they'd be out at all times and with several characters and Pokemon around, the presence of too many at once might make scenes a tad chaotic.

@LowKey123

10-year-old Pokemon Master D8<

OUT WITH YOU. jk jk, she looks okay to me ^^ and I don't see anything that needs changing.

Okayyyyy, If anyone is still working on their sheet, I'll wait a bit before picking out the final cast :). @Arista,@Jpp188,@OneWayOut,@13 Critics, tell me if you guys are still interested and we'll chill for a bit as we wait. And @tobiax Don't forget to re-ping me if you update you sheet. I'll get to the PMs in a bit, but so far so good, guys!

Pokemon RP Idea (Dark-ish)

<3 I see we've got interesting characters all around. I'll try to throw in some feedback later tonight, but I won't make any promises. I've got a couple of papers I need to get out of the way first, so I might wait for the rest to throw up their sheets too. Anyway, keep up the good work, guys! And I hope you all have a great day~

Pokemon RP Idea (Dark-ish)

I'll leave this here ^^

Rai Lancaster

Rai

Age: 17
Personality:

An adventurer at heart, Rai is constantly on the move. Staying in one place for too long bores her, and she's a bit of an impulsive thrill seeker, one of the reasons her mom tends to fret whenever she's on the road. Daring, and not one to back down from fights or challenges, there's never really a shortage of excitement around her since she often gets herself into silly spats and arguments.

Rai is not what one would call a patient person. She's got a temper and this often leads to poor decisions or hurtful words. Often, these poor choices come back to kick her butt, but the girl tries to learn from them and takes things as they come. She might have a tendency to snap when upset, but Rai rarely ever holds a grudge. Temper aside, her dad sometimes likens her to a blaze because when she sets her mind on something, Rai burns bright and fights hard. She's a tough nut to crack, often hiding her fears and insecurities behind angry outburst or bright grins. Rai doesn't have everything figured out, but her heart is usually in the right place.

Biography:

• The daughter of a wildlife photographer and teacher, Rai was born and raised in Goldenrod city, but has traveled across most of Kanto and Johto with her father. Whenever left at home with her mom, she'd often wander off and make a fuss, so while her younger brother (a total mommy's boy) often stayed back home, she mostly lived on the road with her dad. And while Rai treasured every moment of it, it didn't stop her from feeling homesick from time to time. She's not going to admit that though.

• Going on trips with her father only spurred her need for adventure. By the time Rai turned 13, she constantly pestered her parents to let her leave on her own journey, they told her to wait a few years, much to her dismay.

• Sometime after Rai turned 15, her father returned from one of his travels with an injured Cyndaquil. She helped him nurse it back to health and named the Pokemon Flame. The Cyndaquil took a liking to her and Rai obtained her first Pokemon. Shortly after, she left on her own adventure. She's been on the road for a little more than two years now.

Pokemon Team:

The Team

1.

Flame (M)

Rai's father rescued Flame on one of his trips. He brought the injured Cyndaquil home and Rai helped nurse the Pokemon back to health. Flame took a liking to Rai and the two have been partners ever since. The Quilava is very protective of Rai and will go to great lengths to make sure she doesn't get herself into trouble. He can bit a bit of a grump when it comes to others but after he warms up to people Flame will make sure to keep an eye out for them too.

2.

Clock (F)

One of Rai's first Pokemon. Clock is calm and calculating, often noticing minute details before anyone else on Rai's team does.

3.

Lavi (M)

The newest member of Rai's team. Lavi likes playing rough and never knows when to quit. The Jolteon sees Flame as some sort of rival, much to the Quilava's dismay, and often tries to get into play fights with the fire type.

4.

Mia (F)

The biggest member of Rai's team, while she might look a tad intimidating she's as playful as a pup and is very affectionate. She captured the Growlithe during one of her trips to Kanto, Mia evolved on Rai's 17th birthday when Rai received a Firestone from her father.

5.

Duke (M)

The newest addition to Rai's team. On one rainy night, Duke tried to scare the girl and her pokemon, but it didn't work. Rai applauded him for his shenanigans though and the curious ghost decided he wanted to tag along.
He's a trickster who loves to scare people and is usually looking for attention.

Inventory:
1 Pokedex
5 Pokeballs
1 Antidote
2 Mint Berries
1 flashlight
A half-eaten chocolate bar

@SleepingSilence

The extra bit is for trivia ^^! Just put whatever you want. Like if your character has a peanut allergy, you can write it down there. And you did the info about Pokemon part correctly. I'll give you guys feedback through PM soon-ish. (Maybe by tomorrow or so)

Oh, I checked your character's items though and I'm going to have to ask you don't bring too many restores and heals. This part is a note to everyone, unlike in video games where a full heal will heal your Pokemon back to full health, in the RP it will not make an injured Pokemon magically a-okay again, it'll just help them feel better and help quicken the recovery process.

As for things like escape rope, they're not going to be of use in the RP ^^

Pokemon RP Idea (Dark-ish)

@sassy1085

Thanks for throwing in your sheet ^^

After everyone who expressed interest submits theirs, I'll begin the evaluation phase, give you guys some feedback and some time to tweak things then I'll pick out the final cast.

Pokemon RP Idea (Dark-ish)

@tobiax

Ah, that's a neat idea. But for this RP, we'll be using standard Pokemon appearances save for the occasionally different looking one. And as for lvling, we won't have that, so we'll definitely be going for narrative over game mechanics. You guys will be able to have your pokemon evolve, but it won't be something I'll be allowing you guys to do too often. Most likely it'll be there as some sort of reward system, like should you guys do well in certain situations, I'll give you the option to have your Pokemon evolve.

And we'll be starting in Hoenn but OCs can be from any of the five regions :)

Pokemon RP Idea (Dark-ish)

@tobiax

They can be, as long as they aren't too different xD. Like if it's a Pikachu with weird eyes, we still have to be able to tell it's a Pikachu. And this would have to be something that's not too common. Kind of like how we don't see as many albino animals.

And grats on pulling through, your Charmander sounds like a trooper ^^
